I have one room in a dorm, 16m2. Not much room for 2 computers . However, it would be nice to be able to do somethinng with the old computer.

From www.apple.com

The Power Mac G5 is the world’s fastest personal computer and the first with a 64-bit processor — which means it breaks the 4 gigabyte barrier and can use up to 8 gigabytes of main memory. The new G5 processor — available at speeds up to dual 2GHz with a new ultrahigh-bandwidth system architecture featuring AGP 8X and PCI-X — makes the Power Mac G5 a breakthrough in desktop processing power. And models start at just $1999.

• $1999 - just out of my price range .
  
• It is not the first 64-bit personal computer. Sun has sold 64bit ultrasparcs for desktops for ages.
  

But yes, it would be cool if I had money like grass.

Actually, I already have a P166 working as a server in the basement . I use it for backups and various experiments. Works fine for the purpose.
